Video: Top 10 plays (non-dunks) of 2012-13 season

By Brent Yarina, BTN.com Senior Editor, 4 years ago

What a season, huh? It might not even be hyperbole to say it was one of the best we’ve seen. From the Big Ten dominating the national polls to the countless upsets to the incredible finishes, the 2012-13 season is one we won’t soon forget. There also were more than our share of memorable plays. I rank the top ones (non-dunks) in this post. I’ll have an all-dunk post later this week.

The two plays below ended in dunks, eliminating them from this countdown. But if we’re talking about the best plays of the season, it’s wrong to completely ignore either one. As a result, I’ve included these steals-turned-into-slams just so that they get the recognition they deserve.

Cody Zeller dives for steal, gets up for powerful dunk:

Trey Burke late steal, slam to drop Michigan State
